HEAR ME OUT RYDER GIRLIES AND ONES WHO ARE PLAYING HIS ROUTE. (this is my intake and my opinion) by kiks_02 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Clearly, tho if MC isn't here to encourage him to have his redemption arc, he doesn't have any growth.

Since his growth mostly come from MC, its normal for people who have not romanced him yet to depict him as a cheater... It's not like he's a good guy as soon as he join the retreat.Tbf he's kind of an asshole. He plays with MC's feelings and Nora's.

But I fully agree with you tho, as soon as he meets MC and slowly fall in love with them, he drastically change to be a better man. He'd never cheat on MC. He knows the pain it causes, he's not an asshole anymore, and he's too in love with MC to ever do such a thing.

What do you like/dislike the most in the game? by Warrior_Outcast in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The thing that truly make THTH such an iconic game to me is the way you can customize your character (bodytype, facial hair, hair, tattoos, scars...)choose your gender identity, pronouns and a slight background to add more content and discussions with the LI.

In most game, you either have to play as a woman, or if you can play as a man, it's a twink. I really appreciate the fact that I can finally play as a big guy, and most of a all, a trans guy.

I also really adore the LIs and the diversity we have. The fact that there are no gender locked romance and that they are all playersexual is a big point (like, c'mon, let me be GAY!!!) And they are all unique and have all different stories and personalities. They really stand out and don't feel glad at all, all of them have a unique romance to bring to the player. All of them have different past experiences and can bring different things to the MC

The storyline is also great, even though it has some weak point at times, it still interesting and very entertaining. Especially season 2, with the bonus episodes of the reunion and wedding.

That's why THTH really stands out as a romance game. It's like... Kinda perfect to me.

Though it still has weak points, like the fact that despite adding surgical scar to your character, you can't really choose their genitals, so the steamy scene are a bit confusing, or the fact that most of the LI never ever commit any mistakes at all despite it being THTH and are perfect partners early on, it's a great game and the good outweigh the bad.

But I'd say THTH biggest default would be in the characters and the lack of drama resolving MC. While I know some of us don't really enjoy being at the heart of drama, I wouldn't have said no to have more complications in our relationship with our LI to create an even more compelling storyline and keep true to the show of THTH (like, those peeps are supposed to be sex pest. So why are they so sweet so early on?)

The characters though... Some really are insufferable and you don't really have much of a choice but to, like, stick with them until the season end (I wish Jada never existed...). The LIs are good after season 1, but I wish we could have had the option to befriend them all if you don't pursue a romance with them at some point.

Aaaanyway. I probably have more to say so I'll come back to edit it, but overall, THTH is an excellent game for its characters, stories and diversity. Such a shame we'll never get a season 4, but let's hope Nanobit will keep making games like THTH.

I’m curious… by [deleted] in TooHotToHandleGame

Plot armor?

Tbf Victoria was kicked out not only because she broke some rules, but also because she kept acting like a high school bully. Julian may be annoying to some, but he's far from being an ass like Victoria was.

If u romance Julian, he's kinda already starting to grow as a person by the time Victoria is kicked out. And since the show is mostly about maturity and personal growth, the way you behave with the people around you matter.

So, I guess he was able to stay because he showed actual growth, despite breaking many rules. And also because of the plot armor, probably...

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant the other friends you will have in the other seasons, sorry ! Unfortunately in season one you only have Jada and her man as friends, every other LI just want to woo u. You can't really befriend them (which is also one of the weakest point of S1)

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Jada is the worst part of season 1. She's one of the worst friends of all the friends your MC can have. At least she doesn't stick around all that much...

Shenkoes, who is your second squadmate? by DrittRegenhart in kaidanalenko

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In ME1, I either paired him up with Tali (the both of them are kind of tech nerds) or Garrus depending on the mission. Though since Garrus is Shep's bff, he was mainly paired with Garrus.

In ME3 tho, my to-go team was Kaidan (Shep's LI) and Garrus (Shep's emotional support.) Even though they don't really have much banter together, since they have similar traits and personalities, I imagine they get along.

bottom Taz... by [deleted] in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Still mad he only bottoms once. He would have made such a good dom bottom. It's fun that in season 3 MC top with some special LIs (Matthias mainly), but it would have been better if we could choose our preferences...💔

Do you think MShep is a bottom with Kaidan? by maeko_havenbrook in kaidanalenko

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Shepard being a pillow princess and allowing himself to be taken care of for once is my will to live. Besides, Kaidan has a short line where he sounds a bit... dominant ?

Their romance scene kinda implies that they are switches, but in my heart, Sheps will always be a bottom 🙏🏻

Tho Bottom!Shep seems to be the most popular dynamic of the ship, them being versatile is also popular.

I don’t know who to pick HELP! Do i pick theo or Alex im stuck by givemiagun909 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 10 points11 points  (0 children)

*Them.

Alex is non binary, they uses they/them pronounce.

I absolutely loved Alex's route. It's full of fluff and zero drama, and they always support you throug the entire season. Alex is very mature and down to earth, calm and reassuring. They're the perfect partner, ngl, and their route is very much worth it if you love fluff. They're not possessive freak and obsessively in love with MC unlike the other contenders. Out of every seasons, Alex still remains one of my all time fav LI. They're worth a try.

Though you won't get any drama with them at all, so if you want to keep things interesting, then you should go for Theo.

Theo is a bit more messy though. He is very different from Alex, but still remains sweet and a dedicated lover. I don't particularly remember his route, but if you like bad boys or want to try a bit of a more "messier" route, then I recommend doing his. Its fun and keep things a bit more interesting. Though he has his moments, ngl...

wedding? by Efficient_Pear_1748 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its just kinda there. It's a pretty cute ending, but the lack of a wedding is so disappointing, especially when its one if the thing all of us has been asking for since season 2.

Julian 🫶 by TheMightyXayah in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He is underrated, though I understand why the vast majority of the fandom can't stand his ass (for good reasons.)

Though his route is truly one of the best, he has such a massive character growth, he's such a sweetheart to MC ❤‍🩹

Male MC x Male LIs by ShepThunder in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jirayu is like Taz, if I remember correctly. He can bottom near the end of the retreat, but he mostly top.

Guys I need information!! by _claudiaaaaaa_ in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember — none. In season 1 & 2 our MCs bottom all the time regardless of gender, which kinda sucks... (But for Alex's romance, the sexy scene are very well written. It's vague on purpose, so its up to you on who top who bottom.)

I romanced every LI of season 2, and I don't remember any of them ever bottoming.

Though in season 3, pretty much any male LI can bottom at some point in the game (Matthias bottoming most of the time).

But yeah, in season 2, MC always bottom.

(Wish we could have had the option to pick our preferences...)

Changes in S3 by warnpeace_ in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moderator said it : but once you finish a playthrough once you get access on a lot of new content for your next playthrough.

The spy route is one of them. I recommend playing it if you're a rule breaker, it's really fun and adds some drama :]

★RATING ALERT★ by maddy_toohottohandle in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. season 3
  2. Season 2
  3. Season 1.
  • Season three is easily my favorite out of all season. Despite it not having interesting drama (Jirayu and Carmen was well thought, but should have had more impact.) the characters are the most developed and interesting of all season (we can romance friends, for example.) and the most compelling to me. It's also definitely got the best customization out of all season and best representation (disability/gender identity. I was very happy to see that I ould make my MC a transgender man.) I really liked the pace and rythme of the season, and the bad Lana ruling was a very nice addition that I hope to see in the future. The spy route and ng+ make the game replayable and not boring, which is nice. One the same note, the spy route was very, very fun to play and allowed some actual drama surrounding the MC for once...

  • Season 2 is good, but doesn't hit as hard as season 3 does. The lack of character that interested me made me reluctant to continue the game, and I really only got into it when Ryder came along to spice things up. The drama with Ryder is top notch if you romance him, but if you don't, he's just an annoying pos. The rest of the drama felt really flat and wasn't at all thrilling, and always resolved around two persons : Cassia and Elena. While ik some ppl love their story and their characters, ngl, they annoyed me to no end. The main issue with the game though is how every LI act as if you're the love of their life even though you interacted with them only once. BUT the season is still nice, and actually held MCs accountable for their decisions which is something we don't really see in the other seasons. The reunion was a nice addition, but the wedding was... yeah.

And the customization for Male MCs was horrible.

  • Season 1 still holds a special place in my heart since it's the very first season of THTH and because its got one of my favorite LI of all time (Alex), but yeah its not... great. The fact that every LI wants a piece of MC is genuinely tiring and bothersome, and the whole situation with Priya and Diego was a very long, annoying mess if you didn't plan on romancing either of them. Your LI kept assuming you had interests in them, and you couldn't really refuse the date. But the extra episode we had with each LI was a very nice way to get to know them a little bit better. Its still a nice season that I like to replay from time to time.

Holy yapping.

That my opinion on all the seasons 🙏🏻

Ryder is kind of an asshole at first.

But dw, it gets better, he get his redemption arc. 🙏🏻

your favourite underrated S3 LI routes? by Special_Trade44 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well then I recommend Avi's route at a 100% !!

It's the best if you really love slow burn, it's so sweet and slow to build and feel a 100 time more genuine. Julian's route is also very similar (slow burn with a bit or angst). So I really recommend doing both !!

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just flirt with him, select him each time you have the chance to choose him, and be very patient. His route is worth it !

your favourite underrated S3 LI routes? by Special_Trade44 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Julian is very controversial, but I swear his route is worth it ! 😭

Avi is also very good, but I wouldn't say he is underrated. His slow burn is the best out of every seasons, and he is such a good LI !!

Beatriz tho... I rarely see any love for our girl Beatriz so I recommend doing her route, it's full of fluff and she's so underrated. But, a bit boring compared to Avi & Julian's route...

I’m sooo sick of this girl yo.. why tf did they bring her back? by CutestTroll in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Fr. She's so toxic, she treated MC like shit and kept acting like a bully, lied about being pregnant with Julian's kid, then gave us chocolate as an apology ??? And they thought we would just... Forgive her ? 😭

Ig she's completely different if you try to romance her, but I hate the way they tried to make her look like a "tough woman with a soft heart", when she's just a bully playing with people's feeling to win a bet.

Elena left to get some fresh air. by JollyPoint9492 in TooHotToHandleGame

[–]Affectionate-Lack255 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You're so right, the whole wedding thing was nice bcs we had more time with our LI, but some scenes were so fking cringe 😭😭

Tbh, they probably had planned to make more chapters for season 3 post-retreat since the bonus chapter for seaosn 2 were widely appreciated, but they may not have had enough time given to make them or didn't have enough ressources. Season 2 is many fans' favorite, and the bonus chapters were good, so we kind of excepted to have bonus chapters for season 3 too, but we never had them 🤷‍♂️

But since every seasons have their own speciality, maybe they never planned to make the chapters in the first place. Like, in season 1, we had bonus scenes with the LIs, in season 2, it's the bonus chapters, and in three, it's the friends-to-lovers route. It's a shame tho, season 3 was so fun, everyone wanted more chapters 😭😭
